Your Guide to Anything and Everything Boston

Remember when Ben Affleck was in town earlier this summer to film The Company Men (here)? Well, the WORLD PREMIERE is going to be in Boston at the Coolidge Corner Theatre which is kind of amazing. Does that mean we're going to have red carpet event in town? I sure hope so.

Sundance Film Festival USA has chosen the Coolidge Corner Theatre to present the world premiere of THE COMPANY MEN on Thursday, January 28 at 7 pm. Director and screenwriter John Wells will screen his drama -- filmed on location in Boston -- about three company men attempting to survive a round of corporate downsizing while trying to fend off its effects on their families and their identities.

The stellar cast includes homeboy Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner, Maria Bello, Harvard grad Tommy Lee Jones, Massachusetts resident Chris Cooper, and Rosemarie DeWitt. Tickets will be available online at www.coolidge.org and at the Coolidge box office, located at 290 Harvard Street in Brookline, beginning January 4 for Coolidge members and January 6 for the general public.

I'm going to be out of town at CES on 1/6, but you can bet your bottom dollar that I'm going to get online and try to score some tickets. Anyone know any Coolidge members?
